The problem here is that you're going to an empty NFL stadium, which isn't even fun when full.


Cool, I'll just... tell SDSU to go play in a smaller stadium that doesn't exist? Not sure what you're getting at here. I've been to USC games at the Coliseum and it wasn't nearly as fun as the pro games I've been to.

I go to Chargers games all the time and they're really fun, so different strokes I guess

The stadium doesn't matter if it's full and you have some way to tailgate. Not being able to fill the stadium which might be a problem for SDSU hurts.

Heck yeah, beating Ohio [not state] on a last minute penalty, getting blown out and shut out by Northwestern, and barely escaping something called Colorado State as Jerry Kill has a meltdown to the media is being on the rise.

You're not Rutgers or Indiana.

Also, Jerry Kill has never been suspended for beating an infant in the scrotum until the child bleeds.

We spent it on a new Basketball practice facility. College hoops rule.

There has been talk about building a smaller (25-30k) stadium on campus and maybe partnering with a MLS team if the Chargers move to LA.

There is no difference between Alex Smith and Matt Cassel.

They are the same person.

There is no way other teams were going to pay Alex Smith so high that the Chiefs had to pay what they paid not to lose him.

Hmmm..

quote:

Rule 12-4-1(a) explains that an illegal bat occurs if “a player of either team bats or punches a loose ball in the field of play toward his opponent’s goal line. While Rule 12-4-1(a) doesn’t expressly require intent, Rule 3-2-5(g) defines illegal batting as “the intentional striking of the ball with hand, fist, elbow, or forearm.”

AsInHowe posted:

Yes.

Seriously though, besides "it's deeply ingrained in people", what makes the NFL entertaining? It's horribly corporate and generic, and ultimately everything is about some stupid media-driven bullshit that isn't even about the actual game.

I don't care about a league-initiated witch hunt for a star player. I don't care about a grandstanding doofus who only cares about profits but is too dumb to actually create a worthwhile product. And I especially don't care for games that come down to something stupid rather than the actual game and actual teams.

I'd much rather care about college football, where it is at least fun even when your team is bad, and it's awesome when your team is good. Even a bad college football game is fun to go to, and the variety in the teams makes everything interesting and fun. Teams and schools actually have a personality. And, when Michigan plays Michigan State in two weeks, it's most likely going to come down to the actual game on the field, instead of something stupid deciding the outcome to take all fun away.

This is the ultimate cry baby post and I actually side with you on the idea that Detroit has been screwed and was screwed tonight. Haha man.

You're also acting like bad calls that are 100 times worse don't happen in college. Also if the college football team you root for is bad its awful. Especially if the "Personality" of your school is a senior citizen home run by a pervert.
